The i money was taken from behind the cage. Investigators { were called in but no trace of the money was found. It was said that recently similar incidents have oc- curred at several banks in the vicinity of New York city. . “How it was stolen is one of the | mysteries of the case.

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 18.—That the battle of Cananea will be a decisive struggle which will determine the balance of power in Sonora, in the immediate future, seemed certain to- day. Reliable reports received from Cananea state that Gen. Rodriguez has between five and six thousand men while two thousand reinforcements Bulgarians in one sector of the front in southern Serbia is unofficially re- | ported through Paris. General Sar- rail’'s troops are said to have driven strong Bulgarian forces to the right bank of the Vardar river as the result of a two day battle. Capture by the French of the town f Kasturino and a defeat of the Bul- garians by the British on the Valon- dovo-Rabrovo front also are reported in the advices rececived in Paris. The Bulgarians apparently are sweeping all before them in the region north of Mcnastirr A London mes- sage early today said confirmation had been received in Saloniki of the report hat the Bulgarians had taken Per- epe, imperilling Monastir, which the Serbians were preparing to evacuate, it was said. Progress for the Italians in their campaign against Gofizia is reported by Rome, a strong entrenchment on the height northwest of the city hav- ing been taken. Belluno, an Italian city about fifty miles north of Venice, has been bom- Parded by an Austrian aeroplane. A Belluno despatch says only one bomb out of five dropped exploded, and that aside from the slight wounding of three persons the explosion had no effect. Artillery engagements and fighting with trench guns are reported by Par from the front in France. No infant- I¥ attacks are mentioned. London, .

General Obregon plans sending his cavalry south, following the line of the Southern Pacific, while his infan- try and artillery are divided into two columns, one going to the east and one to the west of the San Jose Mountains which stand between Naco and Cananea. Gen. Villa has approximately sixty five hundred troops between Mag- dalena and Hermosillo. Ten carloads of copper bullion were seized from the Cananea Consolidated Copper company and taken to No- gales, where it arrived last night. Ten additional carloads are reported to be between Del Rio and Nogales, enroute to Nogales. How Villa pro- poses to use this metal has not been explained. The shipment at Nogales is said to amount to twelve hundred and fifty tons.

Three per- sons were slightly injured. No ma- terial damage was done. The report of the aerial raid on Belluno apparently clears up the Rome dispatch sent out last night by the Stefani News Agency which said an Austrian aeroplane appeared | “Over our city” at 8 o'clock and dropped five bombs.

Meriden, Nov. 18—Jail sentences were imposed in the police court to- day on thirteen strikers of the In- ternational Silver -company found guilty of taking part in a riot real Sunday morning at one of the factor- ies of the company. Three others, ar- rested at the same time as rioters ‘were acquitted. Domenico Moratori was sentenced to 120 days in jail for rioting, injury tc property. and carrying concealed weapons. The other twelve were sentenced to sixty days in jail each, for rioting and injury to property. All took an appeal under bonds to the common pleas court of New Ha- ven county. Trouble With Strike Breakers. The trouble occurred when the company brought into the city two motor truck loads of strike breakers. The strikers got word of the coming of the outsiders and had pickets at the factory. When the company rushed the trucks into the factory vard with the passengers the clash occurred. The trial began yesterday morning. Witnesses testified that shots were fired both from. within and without the factory. No one was injured how- ever. Shooting From Both Sides. In passing sentence Judge Frank S. Fay said that in his opinion the shooting was from within as well as from outside the factory. He re- gretted that the company had not informed the police of their intention to bringing in the outsiders, bud ada- ed that it had a right to defend its property. Counsel for the prisoners asked that sentence be deferred until such time as further investigation and probable arrest be made of those re- sponsible for the shooting from in- side the factory. The court, however, declined to grant the request. PHYSICIAN'S ESTATE IS GIVEN TO WIDOW At Death of Hope M. Swasey $10,000 Is Divideda Among Relatives of Testator.

Washington, Nov. 18.—Associate Justice Hughes of the supreme court of the | today notified the secretary of state ! of Nebraska he would not be a can- didate at the coming presidential pri- mary election aind requested that his placed upon the ballot. The formal doeciination of Justice Hpghes, to which he took oath be- fore a notary and which was tele- graphed to the secretary of state at Lincoln, was as follows: “A petition having been filed with you on No- vember 13, 1915. requesting that my name be placed upon the official primary ballot of the republican par- ty for the primary election to be held in Nebraska on April 18, 1916, as a candidate for the president of the United States, I hereby notify you that I decline the nomination made by petition or similar petitians and request that my name shall not be placed upon the ballot for such pri- mary election.” 'S, by Wireless to famous socialist, Dr. a4 member of the Swedish parliament, describes the re- nessed of 200 Italian socialists,” say the Overseas News Agency. “These socialists who wore uniforms of the army or navy, had refused to join the army and were transported to Arezzo moval from Florence, which he wit- | { Dolan. .!MORE SAD NEWS FOR UNHAPPY TAXPAYERS Committee Appointed to Learn What Expense Is Necessary to Fix Up Municipal Icc House. Another unforeseen expense will be saddled on the taxpayers through the | negligence of the Quigley administra- tion in allowing the municipal ice house to go to raek and ruin. This fact was brought out at the council meeting last night by Chairman W. B. Rossberg of the water commission, which has charge of the structure. Mr. Rossberg estimates that the ex- pense of repairing the building will be $1,720, but there are others who believe this sum will not be sufficient. Complying with instructions of the council, Mayor Quigley today appoint- ed a committee of five to consider the necessary repairs. The committee con- sists of Alderman Jester, and Council. men Landers, Curtis, McDonough and Attention was called to the delapi- dated condition of the ice house months ago by this paper, but nothing was done and the building was allowed to rot slowly. Now the taxpayers face an additional expense because the administration did not take the “stitch in time.” The building is in bad con- dition and as Chairman Rossberg said at the council last night it will be necessary to affix braces to the sides to keep it together. NEUTRALITY VIOLATIONS CHARGED TO GERMANS U. S. Will Allege That Sup- plies for Warships Were Sent from New York. New York, Nov. 18.—An allegation that the German government appro- priated $750,000 to charter and load a fleet of steamships which cleared from New York early in the war to supply German cruisers operating in South American waters will be made by the government at the trial of Karl Buenz next week, according to United States District. Attorney H. Snowden Marshall. 1t is stated that the government will try to show that the operation of the supply ships was directed to a sreat extent by an official of the German government who still in the United States. Buenz who formerly was German consul general here and now is man- aging director of the Hamburg-Amer- ican Line is accused of violating the customs laws and neutrality of the United States by sending out the sup- ply ships. Mr. Marshall says he does not in- is | tend to take up the charges of Dr. Joseph Goricar that diplomatic and consular representatives of the Teu- tonic allies are directing the work of a large number of spies in this country until A. Bruce Bielaski, chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, has made a re- port thereon to Secretary of State Lansing. Dr. Goricar expects to meet Chief Flynn of the United States secret ser- vice, today and to go to Cleveland to- day or tomorrow. JUDGE HUNT AGAIN | AMERICAN SURVIVOR MAKE DENIAL OF AUSTRI RULES FOR DEFENSE Third Point Scored by New Haven Road Against Government “PROSPECTS CAN'T CONYICT” No Testimony Before Court on Ac- quisition of Sca View Road—Attor- ney Nicholl Proposes That Jury View Property. New York, Nov. 18.—The defense in the trial of the eleven former di- rectors of the New York, New Haven | and Hartford Railroad proposed to the court today that the jury be taken on an inspection trip over the lines of the road so that they could sec for themselves the actual physical condi- tions around whicn the testimony in the case centers. The suggestion was not pressed by the attorneys for a de- cision at this time, but R. L. Batts of the prosecution, refused to take the suggestion seriously. Judge Hunt, without committing himself, did not seem inclined to favor the proposal. It was made just before | the government launched into the his- tory of the acquisition by the New Haven of the Boston and Maine Rail- road. Charles S. Mellen, testifying on this subject, said a proposition to buy control of the Boston and Maine was made to him by Gardiner M. Lane, of Boston, who told him the stock was on the market. Lane, Mellen said, told him the stock was going to be sold anyway, a fact which the witness said he regarded as “A serious thing.” Judge Rules Against. For the third time since the prose- cution in the trial began to put in evidence relating to thetrolley acquisi- tions of that road, Judge Hunt today ruled against the government. of the acquisition of the Sea View Ralilroad Co. in Rhode Island on the ground that it was an interstate company and not amenable to the ! Sherman anti-trust law for the alleged violation of which the defendants are being tried. Assistant District Attorney Steven- son argued that there was a pros- pect that the line might be used in interstate commerce, “You can’t convict men on a pros- pect,” said the court. Providence and Danielson Road. The acquisition, however, of the Providence and Danielson road, which crosses the Rhode Island state line, was admitted. This was taken, it was brought out, et a price of seventy-five per cent. for the bond and twenty for the stock. The line was acquired in connection with the Union Railway, the trolley system of Providence, which, ac- cording to evidence in the govern- ment’s case, cost the New Haven $20,000,000. The government here dropped the trolley line phase temporarily and took up the railroad situation again. Charles S. Mellen was asked to de- scribe the situation on a map in 1907. Joy Ride For Jury There were, he said, two inaccu- racies on the map, and at this point DeLancey Nicoll, of counsel for the defense, proposed to the court that the jury be taken on an inspection trip over the New Haven lines. MEASURE AGAINST SPIES, Paris City Council Adopts Regula- tions Guarding its Secrets. Paris, Nov. 18, 4:40 a. m—The Paris city council has adopted a measure presented by its president, Henri Galli, and Poirier De Narcay, urging that all subjects of allied na- tions of military age who are resid- ing in France be required either to leave the country or enlist in the French army: those who refuse to Le confined in concentration camps. The motion also sets forth thal. subjects or citizens of neutral coun- tries should not receive residential permits except upon recommendation of their governments and after rigid investigation of their credentials. STEAMER HITS MINE. Five Members of Ulriken Lost Lives When Boat Went Down. Amsterdam, Nov, 18, Via. London, 10:30 a. m.—According to a mnews- paper report, the Norwegian steamer Ulriken, 1,454 tons, from New York for Rotterdam, has been sunk with the loss of five members of her crew. The steamship Glenmore, on arriving at Rotterdam from New York, re- ported that the Ulriken struck a mine near Galloper Light. m.—The a wthe London, Nov, 18.—12:42 p of the Ul en js reported in «teh to Lloyds, which says was saved W \\'E‘\’Ell ER. Hartford, . Hartford and vicinity: creasing cloudiness tonigh Friday rain, rising tempera- ture. “The jury,” he said, *“has a legal right to view the premises. I pro- pose to the court that the government procure an inspection train and take the jury over our lines, from New York to Boston and give them a ride, too, on the Joy Line. “Qur contention is, and it will be, that we have improved and developed the commerce of New England and contributed to the happiness of the peaple. ‘Why shouldn’t the jury be allowed to see the situation for them- selves. ~I have no doubt that the government will consent.” Nicoll A Humorist, “The government,” said R. L. Batts, “has nothing to say other than it has an appreciation of the delightful hu- mor of Mr. Nicoll.” “This is not a jcke,” interposed R. I.. Lindabury, of counsel for the de- fense. “It is made with the utmost seriousness. ‘We believe the jury will get real light, real help from an in- spection of the New Haven road. Judge Hunt said there was no doubt of the court’s power in the mat- ter, but “The danger is that evidence is gathered and impressions are gained that have not been testified to.” Counsel for the defense said they would not ask for immediate consid- | eration of their suggestion.

Chicago, Nov. 18.—Complete vindi- cation of Dr. Harry J. Haiselden, the surgeon who declined to operate on the defective Bollinger baby and thus save its life, will be recommended to the coroner’s jury which is to conduct an inquest today. The recommendation for vindica- tion will be made by Dr. H. G. W. Rein- hart, chief coroner’s physician, who conducted a post mortem on the six- day-old infant an hour after it death in the German-American Hospital last night. Coroner Hoffman had indicat- ed that unless the post mortem proved the child a mental defective, Dr| Haiselden might be tried for criminal negligence. “My examination shows that the probabilities are strong that the child would have been a mental defective,” Dr. Reinhart said today. “It would have been a paralytic all its life. My own opinion is that Dr. Haiselden | was right in not allowing the baby to | ve. A Mrs. Anna Bollinger, mother of the infant, was told of the death. She made no comment save to re- | peat that denial of the simple opera- tion which would have saved the baby’s life was best for all concerned. Dr. H. J. Haiselden, the surgeon who took the initiative in advising | Mrs. Bollinger, in all probability, will rot be prosecuted. Coroner Hoffman said that if Dr. Reinhardt, coroner’s | physician, reported that Dr. Haisel- | den acted according to the most en- lightened dictates of conscience and science, a burial permit would be issued after the inquest and the in- cident closed. Dr. Reinhardt said he so reported to the coroner. Dr. Haiselden, who had been almost without sleep during the forty-eight hours preceding the infant’s death, was busy in the operating room of the German-American hospital today. From every corner of the United States telegrams came to Dr. Haisel- den today expressing the thoughts of physicians, social workers, promi- nent women and men on the case. The surgeon is a bachelor. He has two adopted daughters. One was abandoned by her mother at the hos- pital; the other is a New York or- phan. COUPLE FLOFE FOR SECOND TIME TODAY Police Asked to Aid in Séarch for Seventeen Years Old Annie Pena- savich and Alex Ryzow. For thé second time within the past few months Miss Annie Penasavich, a pretty seventeen years old girl liv- ing at 179 Broad street. has eloped with Alex Ryzow. At least that isthe claim made to the police today by Mrs. Sophie Bogdan, the girl’'s aunt, with whom she made her home. A new months ago the girl and this same young man took French leave and the police were put on the trail They rounded up the couple in New Haven and brought them both back home. Today history repeated itself. Mrs. Bogdan told the police this morning that she has no objections to Ryzow marrying her niece if he can a = a not a wife living in Russia. The aunt suspects that such is the case and ac- cordingly will not permit a match. o TO WITHDRAW BRITISH.
